Max doesn’t know Anna’s name and he asks her. Max works at the Central Bank. He is a banker. He has never seen Anna at work. He can’t believe it. Why have they never seen each other before?



Anna has never seen Max either. It’s strange. They work at the same company, but they haven’t seen each other before. Anna thinks Max is very nice.

Who Wants To Live Forever

There's no time for us,
There's no place for us,
What is this thing that builds our dreams, yet slips away from us.

Who wants to live forever,
Who wants to live forever.....?
There's no chance for us,
It's all decided for us,
This world has only one sweet moment set aside for us.

Who wants to live forever,
Who dares to love forever,
When love must die.

But touch my tears with your lips,
Touch my world with your fingertips,
And we can have forever,
And we can love forever,
Forever is our today,
Who wants to live forever,
Who wants to live forever,
Forever is our today,
Who waits forever anyway?
